Device for interacting with neurological tissue and methods of making and using the same

A method of finding neurological targets, comprising:

• implanting a neurological probe within a vicinity of a neurological target, the neurological probe comprising:
• an elongated shaft having a distal end and an internal lumen;
• a shaft support at least partially disposed in the internal lumen, the shaft support comprising a plurality of shafts and a cylindrical member;
• a microelectrode array film disposed on the cylindrical member, the microelectrode array film comprising a plurality of microelectrode film shafts, each of the plurality of microelectrode film shafts disposed on a corresponding shaft of the plurality of shafts and having at least one of a plurality of microelectrode elements, at least one of the plurality of microelectrode film shafts coupled with at least a portion of the neurological target;
• and
• a microelectronic component disposed along a portion of the microelectrode array film, the microelectronic component electrically coupled with one or more of the plurality of microelectrode elements, the microelectronic component having a signal generator to generate, based on a command signal, a signal to communicate via at least one of the plurality of microelectrode elements;
• the microelectronic component having a switch, the switch having a plurality of filters, each filter of the plurality of filters coupled between the switch and a corresponding microelectrode element of the plurality of microelectrode elements, each filter of the plurality of filters to tune the signal;
• and
• providing the command signal to the signal generator of the microelectronic component to generate the signal to communicate via at least one of the plurality of microelectrode elements to measure or stimulate at least a portion of the neurological target.
